Breast Biopsy

Tissue diagnosis is the final answer in the diagnosis of breast diseases. It is obtained using several techniques.

Ultrasound guided core biopsy is performed under local anaesthesia. A small piece of tissue is removed and sent for testing to the lab and results will be available in a few days.

Stereotactic core needle biopsy

Stereotactic guided biopsy is done when the area that needs to be biopsied, is not felt by hand or seen on ultrasound. Chennai breast centre was the first in the country to introduce prone table biopsy system to do stereotactic biopsy of the breast.

Stereotactic and ultrasound wire localisation excision.

Stereotactic and ultrasound wire localization are procedures that are done to localize a very small cancer that is not felt by hand or seen on Ultrasound.

The surgeon uses the wire as a guide and removes the lesion, the specimen is x-rayed once again to confirm the removal of the cancer.
